easy….
o When comparing more, change -y to -i and then add -er; in the superlative change -y to –I
and then add -est

This is the easiest exercise in the test.
2 Rule of emphasis by complement
The superlative can be modified with "much" or using the cum from "by far".
o The superlative can be emphasized by adding almost (almost); much (many); quite
(relative); by far/ far (a lot) before the comparative form
o Most when used with the meaning very (very) does not have the before and does not
imply comparison

 SECTION 3
I play a lot of sports like football, basketball, ... but my favorite sport is boxing.
Unlike other sports, boxing is a direct confrontation sport between 2 boxers.
When participating in a boxing match, even though they are not professional, they
both need absolute concentration. This sport has and does not require too much
exercise equipment, 1 pair of shoes and 1 pair of gloves are the basic things you
need to practice this subject. It sounds quite strange right because boxing is the
only sport on the ring that uses shoes. People may think that boxing only focuses
on the arms, but in fact, the legs are a very important part of this sport. We have
to practice foot movements with the same frequency as fist exercises. Boxing
practice not only helps me train physically, but it also helps me improve myself
mentally and personality. This is truly a sport that everyone should try whether
you are male or female.
